My country's goverment was hostily taken over by a military dictatorship back in '76 that killed over 30.000 people just for commiting the hideous crime of thinking.
This soldiers also happened to be pretty stupid (as any soldier) and they banned a chemistry book entitled "La Cuba Electrolítica" because the "Cuba" in the title made their tiny psychopathic minds think it might be a communist book.

Yes, this is a question I and many of my friends asked ourselves each day. But, considering this was a High School who's computer class had you learning how to draw in MS Paint, was a sure sign that they had no idea what a computer was for. And I kid you not. Module 1: Drawing in MS Paint. Module 2: "Drawing" in MS Word. o_o;;;scorptatious said:

Australia doesn't ban video games, it's a problem of their being a legal loophole, technically they aren't even banned.
Plastic display weapons? Um? I see them in shops all the time.
Wooden display weapons, well certainly not at the dojo's I've visited.
Australia is certainly not openly gay-bashing, I walk down oxford street in sydney all the time, and if it was openly gay-bashing, there would be a rather large proportion of bruised homosexuals...
Natural disasters we have sometimes, but more regularly recently, generally it's not so bad, certainly there are a lot of worse countries to be in.
Religious to the point they imitate the states? Uh? No, certainly not, the vast majority of Australians are non-religious in the sense that they may have some belief or may not, but simply don't visit church.
The city I currently live in has a law against dandilions, of all things, not that you'd notice when driving around shopping areas and those little patches of grass being overrun by the little yellow things. Not really a ban, but still something silly to not allow.
Anything that is Zero Tolerance, like expelling a six year old for bringing a Lego gun to school. C'mon... Not even an inch long, no moving parts, not even very accurate to a real gun, and teachers still throw a fit? That's some silly stuff to ban right there. If the kid lost the gun? Oh well. That'll teach him not to bring toys to school just as well as having the principal call the cops and the parents and terrorizing the poor thing over a piece of shaped plastic.

Schools have banned students from reading Fahrenheit 451.
If you don't know what the book is about, look it up to see why this is so saddeningly hilarious.

LOL, not sure which part of Australia you visited, if you have done so at all but this certainly isnt the Australia I know. Our elected leader of the country is an atheist, as is a very large percentage of the population so im not sure where your zealously religious idea comes from. And if you are referring to Christianity I think you will find that this particular group of religions did not originate in the states but rather Europe and the Middle East..DazBurger said:
This is definitely up there. Can't really think of anything else at the moment..TheRobotandtheBeast said:
On the topic of weed and alcohol...
HAVE YOU EVER WORKED IN A RESTAURANT/GAS STATION?!! Stoners/drunks are a f*ucking MENACE! Useless human beings inflicting their stupidity on everyone around them. It is a waste of money, gets you banned from everything open after 6pm because you are a public nuisance, and if a vehicle is involved someone could be killed... I could go on for hours so I'll stop there. Just please drink/smoke in the privacy of your own home.
On topic, I'd have to go with South Park episode 201. They censored out a speech that promoted freedom of speech even though they DIDN'T show Mohammad. They did say his name though...

I think this is a good one, personally I've started smoking it in the last week and my life has not been at all affected badly. I've made more friends started talking to females... I've not had a flare up from my anxiety in weeks and I definitely have a good time when I smoke it.Hubilub said:
Don't even feel bad the next morning
I remember, the year I left secondary school, they banned hugs... You would get suspended for hugging another. Catholic education amirite?
Also, King Kong. King Kong (the original) was banned until the 90's if I recall. I assume it's because they just forgot it was banned.

I'm actually relieved, despite my apathy towards A's (not exactly my favorite size)Blitzwing said:
to be honest though, it doesn't sound completely like something Australia would do...
I just lost my train of thought, but I was about to name a country that would.
although it does sound like something america would do. after all, we did make an amendment for the constitution banning alcohol on a 'moral' basis.
not really a ban but parents were asked not to feed their elementary school peanuts/peanut butter 24-48hrs of entering the school because some kids with a peanut allergy might come into contact the kid that ate it (through microscopic traces, not kidding) and fall ill.
I also think a bar owner should be allowed to own a bar that caters to smokers. Not excluding anyone, just put a disclaimer "smokers allowed, those who do not want be around smokers should frequent another bar". I don't smoke but it must suck to go outside/ force patrons to go outside in crappy weather because the law doesn't allow it.
